Pass Time with Good Compania

 

I've had a slight cold this week. Bit dizzy, bit sniffy. And very much suffering from "Claudias-droopy-cabbage-syndrome" in the heat. So to cheer myself up to trotted off to the first of La Compania's early evening concert series for this year at the Melbourne Recital Centre on Wednesday. I thought in my fuzzy-headed state it all might blurr and wash out and be a backdrop to a nap, but no. In fact quite the reverse happened...

"The Portuguese Empire" programme was electric, bright, tight and energising. I think I sat bolt upright from the first note, tapping my toes on the floor and remained so for the rest of the night.
